Description of problem:
Booting Linux, I can't use the USB printer. The problem is that
/proc/bus/usb/???/??? belongs to root:root, and no group write.
It should be group lp, rw for group. After fixing this, cups has to be restarted.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.23-0.164.rc5.fc8
How reproducible:

Additional info:
Has happened for several kernels

Don't look at me, it has nothing to look with the kernel. Some time ago
(like, about a month) and update was pushed out which completely broke
this kind of ownership arrangement. Now there's not a single file owned
by a user other than root in the whole /dev. As a result, sound does not
work on my laptop. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing with you.

This used to work for a while, now (kernel-2.6.24-0.138.rc7.fc9,
cups-1.3.5-1.fc9, hplip-2.7.10-3.fc9) it is again broken.
Note that the affected files (/dev/bus/usb/???/???) are certainly auto-generated
by the kernel + udev.

I'm throwing this bug over to udev, or it will never get any attention.
Like I said, kernel does not know anything about permissions of device
files (it only sets default permissions for /sys but not device nodes).
